iDAS™ - Intelligent Distributed Acoustic Sensor

Enabling true acoustic measurements with finer spatial resolution, wider coverage and lower noise in environments where no other sensor can go. The intelligent Distributed Acoustic Sensor (iDAS) uses the phase of Rayleigh backscattered light to demodulate dynamic strain events along an optical fibre. The iDAS can measure changes in local axial strain to picometre (1 x 10 -12) resolution and has a broad signal frequency detection bandwidth from millihertz to >50 kilohertz with the widest dynamic range on the market. By uniquely limiting inherent instrument noise present in DAS sensors, iDAS achieves unrivalled and consistent low noise performance through time and over distance. This makes it a highly versatile instrument suited to a wide range of applications such as passive and active seismic surveys, flow characterisation and critical infrastructure monitoring.

XT-DTS™ - Distributed Temperature Sensor

Silixa’s ruggedised distributed temperature sensor, XT-DTS™, is the highest performing DTS for remote and hostile environments. Designed for remote operation in hostile environments, XT-DTS maintains the highest measurement performance while achieving a class-leading operating temperature range. Its low power consumption enables operation with solar or wind power. The XT-DTS can be configured and controlled off-site via a wireless or satellite link enabling remote data collection and allowing for effective asset optimisation and environmental risk management, even in previously unreachable locations. Now available with either 4 or 8 optical channels, XT-DTS spatial and temperature resolution can be optimised over ranges of 2, 5, and 10km (XT-DTS M) or 10, 20, and 35km (XT-DTS L), with the added feature of hibernation mode with 2mW ultra-low power consumption. The system can be configured to produce both single-ended and double-ended measurements.

ULTIMA™ DTS - Distributed Temperature Sensor

The ULTIMA DTS range of distributed temperature sensing systems are the world’s highest performing family of Distributed Temperature Sensors. The ULTIMA DTS (distributed temperature sensor) offers unparalleled performance in terms of resolution and acquisition time.

Fiber Optic Sensing Cables for Environmental Monitoring

We possess a wealth of knowledge in the design and construction of fibre optic cables based on the expertise and accumulated experience of our technical team. They maintain excellent relationships with many fibre and cable manufacturers and have a proven ability to draw on technical expertise from across the industry to develop ground breaking fibre optic cables.

Downhole Sensor for FOC Cable Orientation Mapping

Silixa’s cable mapping service is a cost-effective, low-risk solution for mapping the orientation of downhole optical sensing cables in order to avoid cable damage at perforation. The Cable Orientation Beacon (COB) is an autonomous downhole sensor that is installed adjacent to the fibre optic cable (FOC) under a standard mid-joint clamp.
